Being home for most of the last week I have been hearing a lot of political stuff on the radio and t.v. and one thing I notice that is definitely missing is any talk of politicians doing anything to help us the people as far as healthcare, rising insurance costs etc.all I ever hear is fighting among the two parties. Be nice if some politicians did something for us the people who they work for.
I’m waiting out this virus it is getting better but very slowly. I went out this morning and got some NyQuil which worked well for me today I took a nice long 5 hour nap this afternoon. So I will just keep taking it easy drink lots of fluids and wait. Thanks LaineyMom!

Not that it's any comfort to you all but it's heartening for me to see the same complaints over there as we have in NZ. So often comments are made here about how "third world" we've become and why can't we be more like the US, Canada and Australia. Well, it looks like we already are.

Our weather is still terrible, I don't have a class at the Y that I like on Wednesday or Thursday, so I'm not motivated, and I'm extremely cranky.
My sister in SC is cranky too. After discussing it a bit, I think we determined some of what is making us cranky. Today would have been my sister's (the one who passed in March) 75th birthday. We are missing both of our sisters who have passed, and I guess we may be a bit angry that they left this earth too soon.
Maybe I'll let Rick take me out to dinner to "change my mind around" as my mother used to say.....

Patricia, did they go in through the groin? Sometimes after that type of entry you are lying flat with some kind of weight on your legs??? Compression??
They also may have positioned you weird during the surgery.
Also if you know any nurses, they are an excellent source of info. When my mother in law broke her arm, the ortho on call did not have a good reputation. I told them to call someone else. They did. My mother in law's nurse was a co worker's wife. She mouthed the words "Good call" to me when no one was looking. In that setting, she could not have spoken up, but she obviously had the same opinion of the doctor on call that I did.

Your answer is the best I've heard. I'll see the surgeon May 28th before another CT scan on May 30th. He better give me an answer!

Patty, the cutdown when they access your femoral artery hurts like hell for a while.
I had a great big bruise from mine. you are also positioned a little funny so that the weight bag can keep pressure on your artery when it is closing back up.
No pun intended but they are doing a lot of work between your legs during the procedure.
I wouldn't be shocked if some pressure isn't applied to your legs just for wrist positioning and leverage.

Lainey,
I mean to be compassionate but I suspect it will sound blunt.
Your sister had 74 plus years. It can seem short compared to your Mom but how many were taken so much earlier?
My dad was 40. Embrace and rejoice for the years and memories you had with her.

We are headed out to dinner in a bit. Carbs make life more tolerable until you step on a scale
